A raft of marks, including a United States-leading 4:48.34 in the 1,600-meter run by Kristin Fahy of La Costa Canyon, punctuated the 40th annual Mt. Carmel Invitational.
Fahy’s four-lap sizzler topped three Southern Section runners, whose chase of Fahy resulted in the nation’s No. 2, 3, and 4 best performances. No. 5 is a 4:52.4 effort by a runner from Pine Crest, Florida.
Fahy, now ninth all-time in the San Diego Section 1,600, joined two other girls entries who, in preceding weeks, took state leads.
The Scripps Ranch 4×100 relay team is No. 1 in California at :46.95, although the Falcons’ girls have been beaten by Long Beach Poly and Calabasas, Poly for the second time at Mt. Carmel.
Coronado’s Alysha Hickey leads state high jumpers at 5-feet, 10 ½ inches, and is tied for third all-time in the San Diego section. Her 20-foot, 2-inch long jump is second in the state and fourth to Gail Devers’ 20-7 in 1984.
Noah Tellez-Velasquez of San Pasqual took the boys state lead in the 800 after running 1:52.56 in a meet at Azusa Pacific.
Madison’s Kenon Christon was second in the 100 meters to Christian Grubb of Sherman Oaks Notre Dame. Grubb ran :10.42 and Christon :10.45 but both marks were aided by a 2.8 wind, over the allowable limit of 2.0. Grubb was clear of any breeze as he ran :20.93 to Christon’s :21.5 in the 200.
Marks below in parenthesis are where the San Diego Section competitors stand in the state.
w–Wind aided. *–No wind gauge.

Rick, the alleged State leader in the Girls Triple Jump (47′ 8″) appears rather suspicious to me. She hasn’t even broken 15-flat in the 100 meter dash this season. Stay tuned!
More than suspicious. U finally went to athletic.net and checked her season stuff. She did 25 feet indoors. Also, the marks that were in last week included the Mt. Carmel invite. All of those Mt. Carmel marks are not in this week on authentic.net. They had been erased. The coach at Mt. Carmel said he was going to get those marks back in, so I’m leaving Mt. Carmel marks in my blog this week. Thanks for writing. Oh, that 21-foot long jumo in the girls also is bogus.
